no context available I'm afraid other than it's a heading in a sticker collection about animals...
is it something like
"natural sportsmen" or "naturally sporty", or "thoroughbreds", or something along those lines.
TIA

born sporty
OK thank you after reading your kind explanation this is my proposal :)
(also echoing 'born slippy' - underworld ;)
This allows you to explore students' ideas of whether they believe that people are born sporty, arty, intelligent and so on

But with Knightley in the title role, something interesting happens: the 23-year-old, Middlesex-born's sporty, modern-girl attitude

Callum has proved that you don't have to be born sporty to be a success, having only taken up serious athletics two years ago.

Some's born artistic! Some's born lucky! Some's born sporty boys! Some's born tired! Bemrose.

and so on...
moreover this expression is quite widespread in animals/children/teenagers context so I guess it would fit nicely to your text :)

ah I dunno the context (how pics are arranged, if they already contain names, if there is an explicative title..)
but of course if it is more a category title you can use
Born Sporty Breeds (or, simply, 'sporty breeds'):
- Boxer
- Labrador Retriever
- Husky
- Malamute
...

thoroughbreds
I also like champion but maybe it doesn't fit

sporting/competitive thoroughbreds
'thoroughbred' on its own suggests a noble beast of a certain genetic purity, but not necessarily that they've got sport in their blood

born sportsmen
I think this is how I'd put it.

Sorry, didn't see the animal bit. Naturally sporty I think would probably be more suitable seeing as it is animals.

Discussion
I think i'm going to go for 'sporty types', which seems to get the sense and is quite child-friendly!
so why sportsMEN?
does it refer to pure breeds?
to better understand the pun... :) tnx
